Me neither. Just one warning for posting an NSFM picture(which really wasn't NSFM) and making a quote chain(it was like 4 quotes long).

I can throw out random insults too. Doesn't make them true.

If you actually have reasons to call me a hypocrite, I'd love to hear them. That's what I originally meant by "what the hell are you talking about".


For one you complain about political correctness yet you bash anime like Death to club angel for not being politically correct.

You can get banned for quote chaining?

It's probability. Only some threads get reported and depending on how directly you were breaking the rules you might just get a warning or get ignored. Having a high density of rule-breaking posts just makes the probability higher. And after a few bans the mods probably know your name so you'll have it harder to get away with anything in the future. The first few bans are just unluck or deserved I guess, but from what I can gather they start to accumulate at some point.
I probably regret this post by now.

I would hope so. I hate quote pyramids and the often get out of hand (talking 10-20 quotes in one posting). I think you'll just get warnings though like Intro said, not a ban.

What a fun thread this has become. And I almost wrote a serious reply.


hybreezy said:
Tallon is just strongly opinionated which rubs people the wrong way when they don't agree with him and he rips them a new one.


Trust me, the only issue with him is that he immediately starts insulting everybody he replies to when he doesn't agree with them. Even if he's correcting a typo he'll call you 'dimwit' in the process, even if he's telling people that their shitposts are against the rules, he'll insult them in the process, also breaking the rules. He's a hypocrite that never cares about the subject matter as long as he finds a fault or fallacy he can point out while calling the person who committed said fault or fallacy a 'stupid fucking idiot'. Not that he isn't often right, but that's not how someone argues that cares about making a point, that's how someone argues who simply gets joy from talking down to others. Red_keys is awfully polite compared to Tallon.

Please don't make it sound like having and arguing opinions is a reason to dislike someone. It's all about the tone and how one chooses to express himself when communicating with others.


I don't hate any one for having a different opinion, but I like to debate just hate how they never turn out civil. Most of my insults are actually meant to be tongue in cheek. Introverturtle pisses me off but I don't legitimately hate him.

I am interested in your serious reply though.


It's funny because in my experience Intro is the nicest guy and still patiently answers stupid questions in thread where I either just troll or snap at the OP. I don't even know how the beef between you two started.

Anyway, my serious reply was along the lines of popularity (number of viewers) and 'quality' (as in high rating) kinda go hand in hand on MAL. Not every popular show will get a high rating, but it's almost impossible for an unpopular show (a few hundred or a few thousand viewers tops) to get a rating above 8 or 8.5 because of all the casuals who rate everything 9 or higher, while unpopular shows are mostly watched by people who have bigger lists and/or use the full scale of ratings. So a show with a few hundred votes and an average of 7.8 or something is likely to be as good as a popular 8.8 rated show, and a popular show in the 6.xx range is likely to be crap while unpopular shows in the 6.xx range can be any kind of quality.
So if you pick your shows by rating you'll still end up with almost exclusively popular shows. I think that may be why it seems to you that a lot of people value popularity over quality (ratings and reviews are really the only thing you can use to judge the potential quality of a show before you've actually seen it).


I think between me and Turtle its just bad chemistry. Perhaps we just rub each other the wrong way. But yeah I don't really pick shows based on rating actually I often pay more attention to the reviews and synopsis when picking out anime to watch.

You can get banned for quote chaining?
If you do it long enough. Like Higashi said, it's mostly a warning. But I bet you can get banned if you do it long enough to where the mods know you're doing it on purpose.

Also, what do you mean "complain about political correctness"? I remember you said that before in another thread. I ignored it then though, because you misquoted me.

Well, taking into account the synopsis (aka 'Am I even interested in this') beforehand is kinda implied I would think. I personally trust the average score (keeping in mind the popularity as mentioned above) more than some individual reviewers in most cases. There are exceptions, but like 90% of the 8.x rated shows on MAL in my range of genres turn out to be at least a decent 7/10 for me, that's good enough for me to keep trusting public opinion to some degree. I'm very skeptical about most reviewers though.

I've never actually gotten a warning. Even if I throw a simple, justified insult someone's way a mod will ban me.

Both are pretty important factors on whether or not the anime gets another season or not. for example if the anime is to poor in quality and has a high fanbase that anime will probably get a whole bunch of people buying it because of the high fanbase. on the other hand if the anime has high quality and a poor fanbase it will not have enough money to supply another season. ether way you look at it basically it's a supply and demand system the more people want of that anime the more supply will come with it. and etc.

The thread has nothing to do with a show getting another season. Also, you're wrong about how the industry works - plenty of shows with low sales have continued, but I'm not going to sit here explaining all that for the millionth time.

Both.... When a anime is popular it's is most likely good. imo most of the popular anime that I watch are anime I like. so yes. Most... not all. it comes down to opinion. but if I have to pick one, popularity will be it. I love having discussion about anime I like, also watching reviews ect. If I watch a anime that is not popular I will finish it and move on like it was nothing, since it will go by fast since no one is talking about it.

Yes it comes down to opinion. But if a anime is popular most likely it's good right? Again not all the time but most time popular shows are good. Death note, fmab, code geass, Aot, big 3, ect. Again. You may not like these series, but at least try and understand what people are trying to say. Also if you're a person that love to have a discussion with people about anime, then popular anime is a +1 for that person.

Yeah, I mean, sure, some popular stuff is fairly good (I have FMA and AoT in my list too) but I don't think popularity equals good or bad. I would list examples, but then again subjective territory and all that jazz.

The big 3 is pretty good, people watch 12 episodes of Bleach, drop like a crazy bitch and say it's crap (although the beginning is really garbage). But the anime as a whole is quite nice. Bleach > Code Geass :D
The past thirty or so chapters of Bleach have been the lowest point since it's inception as far as I'm concerned, the beginning was actually the highlight of the series for me.

An anime's popularity is reflective of the quality shows, because without sales we wouldn't have unheralded masterpieces like sword art online.

If popularity matters more than quality to you, then you are a goddamn tool. Explains why so many people like AoT, and SAO.

I agree this last arc is really shitty. But the beginning is also bad. On the other hand, Soul Society and Arrancar Arc are fucking amazing good shit.

Anime quality, however most of the anime i've seen are popular or become popular eventually so either way it doesn't matter.

Who in the fuck would actually choose popularity over quality?? Is this a serious thread??

Thread should be renamed to "Actually good shit V/s Ad populum", because that's what it is. Appealing to popularity is pretty fucking hilarious as an argument or a quantifier of quality.


Yes it comes down to opinion. But if a anime is popular most likely it's good right? Again not all the time but most time popular shows are good. Death note, fmab, code geass, Aot, big 3, ect. Again. You may not like these series, but at least try and understand what people are trying to say. Also if you're a person that love to have a discussion with people about anime, then popular anime is a +1 for that person.


Code Geass is legitimately bad IMO.
